Violent violet and bubblegum pink

"Fo' Ber'd," happily, ignoring the kissing and sneaking up on Ber'd's lap.

He's presented with a package much like Dora's, but his has more red glitter.

From:

"Mmf. Merry Christmas," Bernard replies sleepily, and pats his hair down as he takes the present from Sunny.

He puts his coffee down and unwraps it with much care. It doesn't work. The glitter gets everywhere.

He can't stop grinning.

"Thank you, sweetheart. It's beautiful."

From:

She eyes it fondly. "Yes. Yes, is. Welcome, Daddy!"

From:

'Dora plants a kiss on Sunny's cheek, and then Bernard's.

"Shall we open the stockings, now?"

She casts a significant glance over to the mantle, where the previously-empty socks have MYSTERIOUSLY FILLED overnight.

Hmmmmm.

From:

"YES."

From:

Bernard suppresses a smile and stands to examine the stockings curiously.

"Hmmmmm. Wonder how all this stuff got here." He picks up Sunny's stocking, which is Very Full.

"Looks like somebody's been a good girl this year."

From:

"Oh?" 'Dora looks around with mock curiosity. "And who might that be? Do we know any good girls?"

From:

:O!

Sunny gives Mummy a Look.

"Sunny was PEWFECT ANGEL."

From:

"Riiiight." He hands 'Dora a bulging stocking, his eyes sparkling.

"Does Sunny have a stocking?"

From:

"I think she might," 'Dora replies thoughtfully. "And so do you," she adds, poking gently at her belly.

From:

She's literally bouncing.

"Please please please please ple--will open fo' Anfony," sidetracked. "No haf hands yet."

Oh dear. She's sidetracked again, staring at Dora's stomach, and then peers under her shirt. "Could put pwesents fwew belly button, Dora?"

From:

"There will be nothing else going in there, thank you very much," she replies firmly. "Only things coming out. Out.</i."

From:

Bernard bites his lip and unhooks two stockings. "Here's Anthony's." He sets it beside Sunny, and then shakes the other stocking experimentally.

"Hmmm. Sounds like coal to me."

From:

"...Coal cwunchy?" Curiously.

From:

"NO. Not crunchy at all. Um. Squishy, even!" Laughing, 'Dora beckons Bernard to sit. "Come on, let's stop torturing her."

From:

"Oh, fine." He gets his own stocking and gives Sunny hers, finally.

Contained within is an obscene amount of crunchy candies and nuts, a wealth of sparkly stickers, a few satsumas to protect against scurvy, and several Wizarding Christmas crackers.

Anthony's stocking has loads of little baby toys: rattles, gumming rings, and a little, stuffed, squashy Piglet.

From:

Sunny's eyes glaze over.

...

Oh, you knew this was coming.

She goes CHOMP on one of the crackers.

From:

"Oh!" 'Dora scrambles, but it's too late -- the cracker pops in a shower of sparks, leaving a Very Festive Christmas Hat in its wake.

From:

...And the hat's in Sunny's teeth.

Bernard busts out laughing.

From:

She just blinks repeatedly, stunned.

"Ow?" she tries.

It didn't really hurt.

She just doesn't know how to react to that one.

(The hat has fallen to the floor.)

From:

Still laughing, Bernard leans over and kisses the crown of her head.

"You're okay."

From:

"Oh." She's still blinking.

"Want hat, Ber'd?"

Sunny can Share.

From:

And that is very good to see.

"Thank you," he replies solemnly, and sets it on his head.

It clashes.

Severally.

From:

"Lovely." 'Dora approves. "Ooooh, and we've got things, too, sweetheart."

And, indeed, their stockings are full of many good things: fancy bags of tea for 'Dora, and gourmet coffees for Bernard; satsumas and pistachios; ice mice and toothflossing stringmints and Drooble's Best Blowing Gum; a whole bag of buttered popcorn Bertie Bott's for 'Dora, and a bag of grass ones for Bernard. Also, their own crackers.
